In Your Arms
Backstreet Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out in the darkest place
With this a thousand shades of blue
Everyone looks the same
And then your light came into view

You stop my heart and got me sayin'
Where did you come from?
It's like you fell above of the sky to save me
An angel from the sun

I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms
Baby, we can fly together
To the stars, back to Mars
Everywhere you go
My future it's with you from tonight
I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms

And when I touch your face
It's shows me worlds I never known
Frozen in time and space
Don't want to let this moment go

You stop my heart and got me sayin'
Where did you come from?
It's like you fell above of the sky to save me
An angel from the sun

I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms
Baby, we can fly together
To the stars, back to Mars
Everywhere you go
My future it's with you from tonight
I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms

Stay with me, come stay with me forever, and ever
Takin' me, you're taking me to heaven, to heaven

I could live forever, in your arms, in your arms
Baby, we could fly together, to the stars, back to Mars

I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms
Baby, we can fly together
To the stars, back to Mars
Everywhere you go
My future it's with you from tonight




I could live forever
In your arms, in your arms
